On the bacterial cell cycle: Escherichia coli mutants with altered ploidy.

Abstract excerpt

We describe a scheme for isolation of new classes of mutants in the cell cycle of Escherichia coli. The mutants were selected as resistant to camphor vapors, which results in increased ploidy, and were subsequently screened for an increase in cell density and an increase in the gene dosage of the...
